Ah, fried whiting—crispy, golden perfection that practically sings on your taste buds. But if you’re counting points like they’re precious jewels (looking at you, Weight Watchers enthusiasts), you know the delicious crunch comes at a cost. So, let’s break down this fried fish fantasy in Ash Ambirge style—real talk, sassy vibes, and all.

The Points Breakdown

When you’re eating fried whiting, you’re not just indulging in a meal; you’re having a full-on, fork-clinking love affair with your plate. But brace yourself, because that love story comes with a few strings attached. Four pieces of fried whiting could set you back around 16 to 20 points. Yep, you read that right.

Here’s the tea: Each piece of fried whiting is usually about 4 to 5 points, depending on the size, the batter, and the oil used for frying. And no, sadly, wishing on a star won’t make those numbers shrink. Oil and batter are the point-guzzlers here, turning what should be a low-calorie fish into a sneaky little calorie bomb.

But Why So Many Points?

Well, when you batter and deep-fry a piece of fish, you’re basically giving it a high-calorie spa treatment. Think about it: Whiting is naturally lean, but dip it in a floury coating and fry it up, and you’re adding a hefty layer of fat and carbs. It’s like putting your basic black dress through a bedazzler—suddenly, it’s extra.

What to Do if You’re Watching Points

Consider Baking or Grilling: I know, it’s not the same, but hey, a little lemon, some seasoning, and a grill can do wonders. Plus, you’ll save those points for, I don’t know, a slice of chocolate cake?

Lighten the Frying Game: If you must fry (and trust me, I get it), try using a lighter batter or air-frying. You’ll cut down on oil and maybe even knock a couple of points off the total.

Portion Control Like a Boss: Maybe, just maybe, try savoring two pieces instead of four. I know, it’s a crime against fried fish, but your future self (and your point budget) will thank you.

So, there you have it. Enjoy those four pieces if you must, but remember: every point counts, especially when you’re trying to make it to the next meal without breaking the bank—or your point limit. Happy eating, and may your meals be as delicious as your willpower is strong!
